[PATCH] serial: 8250_bcm7271: fix use-after-free in brcmuart_remove()

[Fan Wu]

brcmuart_handle_irq() starts priv->hrt to work around a receive-timeout
quirk of the 8250 core when hardware flow control is enabled; the timer
callback brcmuart_hrtimer_func() dereferences priv.

brcmuart_remove() cancels the hrtimer before it unregisters the port, so
a receive-timeout interrupt that arrives in between re-arms the timer.
After devm frees priv, the callback runs on freed memory.

Unregister the port before cancelling the hrtimer.
serial8250_unregister_port() shuts the port down and frees its IRQ, so
brcmuart_handle_irq() can no longer restart the timer, and the final
hrtimer_cancel() drains any timer that was armed before or during the
unregister.

This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.
